I hear ya...My truck was supposed to be a father/son project, so far it's been more father than son. I told him he could drive it (when it's done) as far as he has helped me. So far he has earned the right to drive it to the end of the driveway.

Ever wonder who likes ya the best , your dog or your wife? Here's a little test , put your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car , close the lid and ride around with em in it for a couple hours. Then pull over , open the trunk and see which one is glad to see ya.

That's why I have to keep the leash on him. Anything going on in the street is more interesting than watching my truck rust.
